Westbank were forced to come from behind twice before eventually seeing off a resolute Rosemount side in one of seven Gilfillan Cup ties completed in Saturday morning’s Bentley Bar North West Saturday Morning League programme

In Group 1, Clifton Villa had to settle for a draw as they were forced to come from a goal down to earn a point against Bentley while in Group 2, Culmore were outclassed by a more experienced Strabane Athletic side.

In Group 3, Tristar defeated Du Pont 3-1 while, in Group 4, Newton Heath managed to defeat Dungiven in a five goal thriller but they needed a last minute penalty save to secure all three points.

In Group 5, Westbank won 5-3 against Rosemount and in Group 7, Hatmore Harps saw off Clooney 2-0 with Tamnaherin registering an excellent 3-1 win over City Colts.
